This research has Despite these developments, there is little general had three major components: guidance - or practical consensus - on how to proceed. The academic approach to surveys has 1. Finding out what occurs and where; generally been to match very specific methods to 2. Assessing to whom it matters and in what way; very specific questions. However, the most obvious and and urgent practical questions have been too broad 3. Identifying what steps are needed to maintain this and multifaceted for such clear resolution. One such biota in the future. question, which we consider here, is ‘how can we find out what we should know to make better decisions Together, these three strands of information help about tropical forest landscapes?’ Following CIFOR’s define priorities that reflect local considerations goals, we emphasize biodiversity, forest dependent and can inform a wide range of processes, from the people and the environment. development of reduced impact logging guidelines to international forestry and conservation policy. The Much of the global concern about tropical rainforests account of fish reported here provides information derives from fears of major impending extinctions. relevant to each of these strands by combining an Considerable efforts have focused on identifying extensive field study with an evaluation of local the most important sites for protection or sensitive views and practices, as well as some review of what management. Biodiversity surveys have become a is know about the vulnerability and sensitivity of major preoccupation of conservation agencies and each species. Using available reference material are increasingly included in impact assessments. and knowledge helps provide a body of information However, the information generated by these efforts that is available to guide management (for a fuller remains less influential than many would wish. In discussion of this philosophy see Sheil and van many tropical forest countries, the opportunity costs Heist 2000). It is however, the second aspect - what of large-scale conservation are considerable and local matters and how priorities are established - that has people frequently have other priorities. The notion been so overlooked in earlier environmental science. that ‘every species must be maintained at all costs’ is Therefore, we will briefly introduce this topic. thus a view irrelevant to many key decision makers.

What is needed is a practical of local stakeholders, especially forest dependent method or, indeed, a suite of methods, that can reduce communities, are addressed. the understanding gap and provide a comprehensible summary of what actually matters locally.

But, when links to the needs and priorities of key stakeholders. rural communities with strong indigenous cultures For CIFOR, the key stakeholders are often the are considered, their needs and perceptions remain poor and forest dependent people that are often hidden to most outsiders unless a specific effort is neglected in national development strategies.

    FLOODPLAIN RIVER FOOD WEBS IN THE LOWER MEKONG BASIN A Dissertation by CHOULY OU Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Kirk O. Winemiller Committee Members, Masami Fujiwara Thomas D. Olszewski Daniel L. Roelke Head of Department, Michael Masser December 2013 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences Copyright 2013 Chouly Ou ABSTRACT The Mekong River is one of the world’s most important rivers in terms of its size, economic importance, cultural significance, productivity, and biodiversity. The Mekong River’s fisheries and biodiversity are threatened by major hydropower development and over-exploitation. Knowledge of river food web ecology is essential for management of the impacts created by anthropogenic activities on plant and animal populations and ecosystems. In the present study, I surveyed four tropical rivers in Cambodia within the Mekong River Basin. I examined the basal production sources supporting fish biomass in the four rivers during the dry and wet seasons and explored the relationship between trophic position and body size of fish at various taxonomic levels, among local species assemblages, and across trophic guilds. I used stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to estimate fish trophic levels and the principal primary production sources supporting fishes. My study provides evidence that food web dynamics in tropical rivers undergo significant seasonal shifts and emphasizes that river food webs are altered by dams and flow regulation. Seston and benthic algae were the most important production sources supporting fish biomass during the dry season, and riparian macrophytes appeared to be the most important production source supporting fishes during the wet season.

  • Growth Performance and Survival Rate of Giant Gourami Fingerlings (Osphronemus Goramy Lacepede, 1801) with Potassium Diformate Addition
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 143 (2020) 103-114 EISSN 2392-2192 Growth performance and survival rate of giant gourami fingerlings (Osphronemus goramy Lacepede, 1801) with potassium diformate addition Algi Azmi Nugraha*, Ayi Yustiati, Ibnu Bangkit, Yuli Andriani Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung – Sumedang KM.21 Jatinangor 45363, Indonesia *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT This research aims to determine the method of adding potassium diformate to commercial feed to increase survival and growth in gourami juvenile. The method used in this research is an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consists of four treatments and four replications. The treatments used are (A) Without giving Potassium diformate (control), (B) giving potassium diformate by 0.3%, (C) giving potassium diformate by 0.5% and (D) giving potassium diformate by 0.8%. The test fish used was 300 giant gourami with a length of 4-6 cm. The containers used in this research were aquariums with a size of 40 × 30 × 40 cm3 that reared in 16 aquariums. The density of giant gourami fingerlings during the research was 10 fish per aquarium. The rearing period was 40 days. The feed given was 3% of body mass. Water quality parameters (temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen) were observed every 10 days. Other parameters are the daily growth rate, feed efficiency, the survival rate and the acidity of intestinal and stomach which were observed every 10 days. The results showed that the addition of potassium diformate by 0.3% gives the best results of daily growth rate of 1.31%, feeding efficiency of 37.18%, survival rate of 100% and decreased acidity in the intestine and stomach which helps in the process of protein absorption.

  • Scale Morphologies of Freshwater Fishes at Tembat Forest Reserve, Terengganu, Malaysia (Morfologi Sisik Ikan Air Tawar Di Hutan Simpan Tembat, Terengganu, Malaysia)
    Sains Malaysiana 46(9)(2017): 1429–1439 http://dx.doi.org/10.17576/jsm-2017-4609-11 Scale Morphologies of Freshwater Fishes at Tembat Forest Reserve, Terengganu, Malaysia (Morfologi Sisik Ikan Air Tawar di Hutan Simpan Tembat, Terengganu, Malaysia) FARAH AYUNI FARINORDIN*, WAN SERIBANI WAN NILAM, SHAHRIL MOD HUSIN, ABDULLAH SAMAT & SHUKOR MD. NOR ABSTRACT Scales are calcium carbonate and collagen-contained structures embedded within the fish epidermis and useful for species identification. This study aimed to describe morphological characteristics of scales and use the differences to prepare keys to species. Fishes were sampled from selected rivers of Tembat Forest Reserve, Hulu Terengganu. Specimens caught were from 3 families (Cyprinidae, Channidae, Nandidae) and 17 species. Each species was represented by ten individuals (size ranges 2.5 - 50 cm TL). The scales were removed, soaked in H2O2 (0.5%), NH3 (0.3%), DH2O and mounted between a pair of glass slides for digital photographing. The morphological descriptions were based on types of scales, distinctiveness of radii arrangement at the anterior field, radii cover, radii distribution, overall shape, focus position and focus pattern. Keys to species were constructed based on these scale morphological characters described. Measurements of scale total length (L), total width (W), rostral field length (L1) and caudal field length (L2) of the scales were taken using Image J software. The inter-specific variation among scales was indicated by L1/L, L2/L, L1/L2 and W/L indices through multiple comparison tests (ANOVA). It was found that all 17 species showed significant differences with at least one other species in all four indices.
